Before you start

  • A project that builds and runs cleanly on your machine
  • A service in the panel using the matching language runtime
  • Knowing which port your application listens on

Reading progress

When moving a compiled language into the panel there are two decisions: where to build, and what address your app listens on. Getting both right up front removes hours of later 'it runs but I cannot reach it' debugging.

Build on the server or locally?#

Port binding: the most common mistake#

Every service gets an IP and a port in the panel, passed in as the SERVER_IP and SERVER_PORT environment variables. If your app listens on 127.0.0.1 it is unreachable from outside the container, and if it hardcodes a port it may not match the one assigned. The right move is to read the address from the environment.

Binding the port correctly

main.go
addr := os.Getenv("SERVER_IP") + ":" + os.Getenv("SERVER_PORT")
if addr == ":" {
    addr = "0.0.0.0:8080" // yerel gelistirme
}
log.Fatal(http.ListenAndServe(addr, nil))

Crashes, logs and restarts#

  • The panel marks the service as stopped when the process exits; enable auto-restart in the service settings.
  • Write logs to standard output rather than a file; the panel console only shows stdout.
  • Exit code 137 means the process ran out of memory (OOM); raise the plan's RAM or reduce the app's memory use.
  • In Java, cap -Xmx at roughly 75% of the plan's RAM; the rest is JVM overhead and the operating system.

Troubleshooting

Symptom

App runs but is unreachable from outside

Cause

It listens on 127.0.0.1 or localhost.

Fix

Bind to 0.0.0.0 and to SERVER_PORT.

Symptom

address already in use

Cause

A hardcoded port clashes with the assigned one, or a previous process is still alive.

Fix

Read the port from the environment, then fully stop and start the service from the panel.

Symptom

Exit code 137

Cause

The memory limit was exceeded and the kernel killed the process.

Fix

Build locally or raise the plan's RAM; in Java, lower -Xmx.
